Casting for a 4 week run

Post by Dave »

Hey Rockstars,

I am going to be directing a trial run of an improv show at Ego's on Wednesday nights in November.

I am looking to cast 6-8 individual improvisers who are interested in performing as an ad-hoc troupe OR an already solidified troupe who would like to have a month long run.

Performers will get a cut of the door.

There is a good chance this could be a more permenat gig... (but no further commitment is needed right now beyond November).

Questions?
post 'em if you got 'em..otherwise pm or email me your desire to be cast.
We'll talk and see if it's right for you.


Ideally all castmembers would be comfortable:
  • *playing/directing short-form games
    *performing a long form-montage
    *hosting a performance jam
    *recieving notes after shows
Wednesdays Nov 7-Nov 28 at 9 pm
Ego's on South Congress.

Yes. It does.

What happened to slam poetry at Egos on Wednesdays?

I'd be down like a clown if not for Shakespeare rehearsals.

Slam poets have moved to Red Roof Inn on Wed.'s

Ego's called me looking for some improv. This is just a trial run to see if we like them and they like us.
